Act 25:1
Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended
from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

Act 25:2 Then the
high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought
him,

Act 25:3 And
desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying
wait in the way to kill him.

Act 25:4 But
Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself
would depart shortly thither.

Act 25:5 Let them
therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and
accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.

Act 25:6 And when
he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and
the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.

Act 25:7 And when
he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and
laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.

Act 25:8 While he
answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the
temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all.

Act 25:9 But
Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou
go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?

Act 25:10 Then
said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to
the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.

Act 25:11 For if I
be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to
die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may
deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.

Act 25:13 And after
certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Caesarea to salute Festus.

Act 25:14 And when
they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul's cause unto the king,
saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:

Act 25:15 About
whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews
informed me, desiring to have judgment against him.

Act 25:16 To whom
I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die,
before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have
licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.

Act 25:17
Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I
sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.

Act 25:18 Against
whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as
I supposed:

Act 25:19 But had
certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus,
which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

Act 25:20 And
because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he
would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.

Act 25:21 But when
Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him
to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.

Act 25:22 Then
Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he,
thou shalt hear him.

Act 25:23 And on
the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was
entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men
of the city, at Festus' commandment Paul was brought forth.

Act 25:24 And
Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see
this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at
Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

Act 25:25 But when
I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath
appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.

Act 25:26 Of whom
I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him
forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after
examination had, I might have somewhat to write.

Act 25:27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a
prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him.
